We both know fishing can be crazy expensive. But you don't have to be rich to get quality rods and reels for a decent price. Here are some of the rods and reels I own and stand by, but are still price friendly at high quality. I let you know what rods and reels I consider "lower tier" for the more begginer fisherman who aren't entirely sure If they want to invest in a nicer rod and reel. Then I move to that mid-range fishing criteria, then close with the higher end. I let you know my opinion and what I have learned being a female fisherman in this fishing industry. Again, don't go around looking lost when buying your first reel, let me take care of that initial confusion and nervousness away from you.
